    Update

    Hi there.

    First off, apologies for the long wait for an update. Ever since I got promoted I have had to do a lot more 'adulting'. Just about got a handle on it and the 'imposter syndrome' was starting to fade when they go a promote me again! (Seriously? What the heck are 'upstairs' smoking... and can I have some?)

    Next chapter now at editor's

    Next chapter, Deterrent (part 2), has now been passed to my editor. Or perhaps 'unleashed upon' would be a better terminology.

    Yes, I agree it has been a (too) long time.

    I claim NO major crisis or drama in my life to account for it. Just life itself ticking-over, inexorably dragging me, kicking-and-screaming, towards being a responsible, mature, grown-up adult.

    ...whimpering sounds...

    Next Chapter soon.

    The next chapter, Deterrent - Part 1, has now been submitted to my editor... for the second time. He (quite rightly) pointed out something the first time, something that was basically 'well that's all a little too convenient', so off I went to sort that out.

    Still Alive

    Just thought I’d drop a quick blog to state that: No I’m not dead... and neither is this story.

    The next chapter is coming along, just more slowly than I hoped, but it is coming together.

    No major drama going on here, it’s just xmas, mum is down with us right now and the longer working hours mean less free time during the working week.

    Chapter will be published Monday

    I haven't heard back from my editor yet, which is highly unusual. Normally a day or two, three at most.

    While I am hesitant to release the chapter with proper editing, I will publish it Monday. Keeping everyone waiting any longer than that is just getting/has already got silly.

    So, I will go through it one more time myself looking for errors.

Re-writes Done · 5:18pm Mar 30th, 2015

Yay... All the chapters I wanted to re-write have now been done. Hiatus tag is now off and I get down to writing new chapters exclusively.

I apologize for the length of time this took. I envisioned doing 'just a little polishing' here and there to chapters, not ending up doing complete re-writes of them!

The combination of them being my very earliest work and being completely unedited... Yeah, not a good combo. I've learnt a lot since I started (and still continue to learn) thanks to all the comments posted and my 'patience-of-a-saint' editor 'Greynoise'. So thank you to everyone who's helped so far.

The redone chapters do not need to be re-read. While there are differences, I have tired to keep the plot as much as the same as possible.

So, 'whew'... Time to chill out for a day or two...

And then: onwards.

(But right now, I'm going for a beer)

Yay, good job!

I actually expected it to be longer!

Sweet. I'm tempted to reread, but realistically I probably won't. :applejackunsure: Either way, good job!
